I woke up with Jesus on my mind!

This story is an important part of what i am.And  is very important to me. At a time when i really needed the word of God to open up to me this is what God gave me!

 

 

Do you believe in Death Bed redemption ? I do and the reason why is as follows.

 

Matthew20:1

For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.

20:2

And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.

20:3

And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,

20:4

And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.

20:5

Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.

20:6

And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?

20:7

They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive.

20:8

So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first.

20:9

And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.

20:10

But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny.

20:11

And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house,

20:12

Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day.

20:13

But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?

20:14

Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee.

~~

~In the story of the Vineyard Worker in Matthew, the workers who were hired first in the day we paid the same at the end of the day as those who didn’t work a whole day !

 

Long story ahead ….!

In 1998 my father inlaw was very ill and dying of cancer.. He had not been saved at that time and i was concerned for his soul.You see i loved him like my Father and i couldn’t stand the thought of him dying and being lost.Some people dont believe in Heaven or Hell but i do .I wanted him to make Heaven so i talked to him about His soul and making it right between him and God.I ask him did he want to pray and ask Gods forgiveness of his sins and he said yes.

Right then he/we prayed and ask God to forgive him and ask him to give him the hope of Heaven and peace filled the room and Pa was smiling from ear to ear and crying at the same time.He was thanking God for salvation !And i had assurance he prayed through to salvation , How we rejoiced and praised God together.

After Pa died some 5 months later he did so in peace and you could feel the presence of Jesus so plane.I knew Pa made it in to Heaven!

But making my story shorter …some were casting a doubt about Pa and his salvation this made me quiet upset as i was Pa’s wittiness to him praying through.

So that night i prayed hard for an answer and words to testify on Pa’s behalf.Well thats when God gave me the scripture in Matthew 20 for an answer to others.The vinyard story in the Bible came to me. And the wages were the same at the end of the day same as they had been for those who laboured all day !! Ill never forget it and to this day i get happy when i think on it.You’ll it wont make me angry for God to allow the last minute seekers into heaven i want everyone that believes and wants to go to Heaven to go.

So I’m satisfied my Father inlaw will meet me in Heaven one day. I want you all to meet me there.One day it will be time and i want to stroll over Heaven with you all one day!

This is my heart to see everyone that will, come to know Jesus that desires to do so! Im old timey i guess, most people say so anyway.And if your wondering what ide have done if PA. had of said no! Ide a walked out of there went and got on my face befor God and wouldnt have come up until one of us changed there mind.And i dont move if it’s important.

People are often unreasonable,
illogical, and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind,
People may accuse you of selfish,
ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.

 

If you are successful,
you will win some false friends
and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank,
people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building,
someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.

 

If you find serenity and happiness,
they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today,
people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

 

Give the world the best you have,
and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis,
it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.

 

He Only Takes The Best

 

Happy Birthday Mama

God saw she was getting tired
and a cure was not to be.
So he put his arms around her
and whispered, “Come with me.”

With tear-filled eyes we watched her
suffer and fade away.
Although we loved her deeply,
we could not make her stay.

A Golden heart stopped beating,
hard-working hands put to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
he only takes the best

IN LOVING MEMORY
Gone now to heaven, as was her Master’s will,
Leaving behind to be cherished by many
Are memories of  my Mama.

A Cracked Pot?
Author Unknown

A water bearer in India had two large pots, each hung on each end of a pole which he carried across his neck and shoulders. One of the pots had a crack in it, and while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water at the end of the long walk from the stream to the master’s house, the cracked pot arrived only half full.

For a full two years this went on daily, with the bearer delivering only one and a half pots full of water in his master’s house. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments, perfect to the end for which it was made. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it was able to accomplish only half of what it had been made to do.

After two years of what it perceived to be a bitter failure, it spoke to the water bearer one day by the stream. “I am ashamed of myself, and I want to apologize to you.”

“Why?” asked the bearer. “What are you ashamed of?”

“I have been able, for these past two years, to deliver only half my load because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your master’s house. Because of my flaws, you have to do all of this work, and you don’t get full value from your efforts”, the pot said.

The water bearer felt sorry for the old cracked pot, and in his compassion he said, “As we return to the master’s house, I want you to notice the beautiful flowers along the path.”

Indeed, as they went up the hill, the old cracked pot took notice of the sun warming the beautiful wild flowers on the side of the path, and this cheered it some. But at the end of the trail, it still felt bad because it had leaked out half its load, and so again it apologized to the bearer for its failure.

The bearer said to the pot, “Did you notice that there were flowers only on your side of your path, but not on the other pot’s side?

That’s because I have always known about your flaw, and I took advantage of it. I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back from the stream, you’ve watered them. For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate my master’s table. Without you being just the way you are, he would not have this beauty to grace his house.”

Moral: Each of us has our own unique flaws. We’re all cracked pots. But it’s the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together so very interesting and rewarding. You’ve just got to take each person for what they are, and look for the good in them. There is a lot of good out there. There is a lot of good in you!

Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.

 

Hello everyone I’m still working on my house.Things are going slow but i have to get use to that now days.But of course i started out on one room now Ive chosen to do my living room and all the ceilings in the house lol.

I have somethings on my mind and i just got to write them when i do.Ive been thinking of when i first got saved…people here referee to salvation in this term.When i first came to know God is what I’m talking about.

I was born in the church but i came to know God for myself when i was 13.When i first got saved It was something going on all the time between me and God.Ill never forget how prayer was so real to me really like a personal conversation between me and God.Mama would say Fancy you been talking to God honey and i would say yes Mama she would smile from ear to ear.

God was always showing me things and i learned about receiving the holy ghost.You see i just had to have more of God and i knew there was more of God  it seemed .And i wanted the Holy Ghost more then anything.But i prayed and nothing happened so i was worried and concerned about it.I just couldn’t understand why i wasn’t getting the Holy Ghost. I prayed for understanding from God.But i couldn’t get an answer it seemed.

The desire grew no matter what i thought.God was teaching me about prayer and faith so i see now it was all in Gods time not mine lol.He knew as a baby in him i had to grow up right or i wouldn’t be what i needed to be.Imagine a baby in these terms and you’ll understand what i mean.A baby Christan has to grow in stages to.

One night about 3 months after i got saved we were having a revival at church and it sure was a good one God was saving people left and right and we were having visitors from all around so we had some good singing in this revival. Me and Mama were singing and i felt the need to go to the alter so i just went and while i was praying i received the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in other tongues.I could sense others all around me and  the church just went up with praise and worship!It seemed like i was the happiest person in the world and i laughted and laughted God gave me the Holy Ghost and Joy with it.For days on end i couldnt speak a word in english and was in this world but more with God in the spirit.

I know some of you’ll wont know what I’m talking about but i just had to share this with you’ll anyway.
God has shown me through the years sometimes waiting is hard but well worth the wait.So if any of you’ll feel like you’ve waited to long for some answers to problems just remember God knows best and in his time the answers will come.And everything is best in Gods timing!

Ill be around to visit soon i promice.
 Love from the heart of Fancy

Please forgive me i have to take a short break .Im moving my bedroom back into the main part of the house i cant climb stairs like i use to so im changing bedrooms.This is the bedroom my Daddy died in so im papering it and changing the carpet. Im slower then i use to be so it will take me a few days to do the papering.Ill be back soon as i can or when i have to take a break from the work ok.

Deej. Hold to the promice of your rainbow ill see you in e-mail everyday. To everyone else dont you go away i love you all and ill be back in a few days.

The rainbow is a sign of God’s promise
That He will guide us through any storm
That He will ease all our troubles
No matter what their form.

 

When you feel tossed about by life’s storms
And you are filled with doubt and dismay
Just remember God’s rainbow is coming

Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him: “I now establish my covenant with you and with your descendants after you and with every living creature that was with you – the birds, the livestock and all the wild animals, all those that came out of the ark with you – every living creature on earth. I establish my covenant with you: Never again will all life be cut off by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.” And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come. I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.” So God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant I have established between me and all life on the earth.” you have only to pray

~The Story Of The Dogwood Tree~

Many years ago, a dogwood tree grew on a hill outside Jerusalem.  In those days, the dogwood tree was as tall and mighty as an oak, and this tree was the tallest of all the dogwoods, and extremely proud of its strength.

“Something wonderful is going to happen to me,” it said to anyone who would listen.  “I’ll probably become the mast that holds the big sail on a grand ship, or the main timber supporting a great house.”

Unfortunately, the huge old dogwood was cut down to become the cross to which Jesus was nailed.  The tree was horrified.  All its dreams of glory were smashed, and it groaned in agony as two boards from its trunk were nailed together.

Jesus took pity on the tree, even as he carried it to Calvary.  “You will never be put to such use again,” He told it.  “From this day on, your shape will change, even as will the world.  You will become slender and sway easily with the breeze.  And instead of acorns, you will bear flowers in the shape of a cross … with two long and two short petals.  In the center of the outer edge of each petal, there will be nail prints … brown with rust and red with bloodstains to show the world how you have suffered.”

“Last of all, the center of your flowers will be marked as though with a crown of thorns to remind people forevermore, that you and I spent our last moments together.”

And so it was.  And so it is.
